Carson Tiger Shark Swim Meet- Maria's 1st!

 

We had a long half day in Carson, but it was a good experience!
Maria did wonderful. Christina did wonderful.

We are so proud of our ladies!!

 

Papa made a water and ice cream run. Yum!

 

We enjoyed some good weather and some bad.

 

GO MARIA!!!!

 

Great job girls!!!

Island in the Sun

 

The girls had the opportunity to do a play at school. An LDS lady who used to be a music teacher volunteered and worked really hard with them. It was great and really well done. Christina got the lead as Storyteller and Maria was the best bird dancer and rain dancer up there!!

We are so proud of them and all they did for this!! Very successful and a great opportunity to build confidence!!!

TMCC Father Daughter Ball

 

Joe signed up for this event a year ago. It was their first time going and they had a blast!! The girls thought it was so special to have the night out with daddy.

He even got them special corsages.

 

 

The ball was at the Grand Sierra Resort. There were tons of people and Maria saw quite a few friends from school. They got to spend time with Amyra and Mya too which was super exciting!

 

I handed over my camera and am quite proud of the photos.

Mostly because they were clear and food pictures were taken!!

 

Favorite restaurant EVER. Liege waffles..... to die for.

 

They danced, took photo booth pictures, ate... ate some more, then watched the Charlie Brown movie after.

Party animals!!!

Sock Hop! Sugar and Heat!!

 

Another fun start to the school year with the annual Sock Hop!! The girls ate a lot of sugar, did the cake walk (no luck this year!), and socialized.

 

Maria and her teacher Mrs. Penney.

 

Pretzels this year! Yum!!

 

Thanks Yaya and Papa for always treating us out!! The girls had a blast!!

 

And on a side note, I got to talk with some friends too!! Yaya and Papa watched the littles for me!! Very relaxing!!
